My name is Matthew Sweet and I am the Pole Vault Coach at Patrick Henry High School (across the freeway) We are going through all the work to start to take over the FNV. It should still be 3 pits 150ft and 105ft runways plus the raised one. We are just finishing up the paperwork to get the stuff moving. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the update. I live in Tucson, Arizona and have talked to numerous other vaulters here and in Phoenix that are really interested in coming over for the events. I came over last year (actually jumped well and attemped a new world record in the 65-69 age group) and am looking forward to this years events. Thanks for all you and all other coaches do to make pole vaulting the special event that it is.

Where: Patrick Henry High SchoolThe track stadium is brand new this year and is very quick. On average it will give you 1 to 1.5 feet for every 6 lefts. There are two runways in the halfdome of the field a 155 and 110 with brand new Gill boxes. There is also the same raised runway with our pit that SDSU when they hosted the FNV at the Aztrack.
